Abandoned in 2001, the grounds of Spreepark amusement park in Berlin, Germany are littered with decaying dinosaurs, crumbling rides and overgrown roller coaster tracks. But the park (also known as Kulturpark) may be getting a new lease on life. Earlier this year, the city of Berlin purchased the lease for the land the bankrupt amusement park sits on, according to Smithsonian Magazine.
